SOLOMAMMA is a fiction film directed by Janicke Askevold. A Norway, Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, Finland production
Synopis: Edith is a curiosity-driven journalist and single mother. Solo parenting proves to be complicated, but when the identity of the man who donated the sperm that got her pregnant surfaces, she seeks him out under the false pretext of interviewing him about his company. Their encounter gradually deepens into a genuine connection, and Edith sinks deeper into lies, endangering the fragile life she has built.
DIRECTOR'S NOTE
"The film explores solo motherhood through Edith, a woman who hides her identity from her son's father. Torn between desire, duty, and identity, she navigates love, ethics, and motherhood in a deeply personal journey." Janicke Askevold
